First, we had a great weekend with lots of food and lots of shopping and lots of coffee. Good grief at the coffee – I think we drank at least seven full pots in 36 hours. I plan to sleep again next Thursday.
Second, here is the purse that called my name from the very second I laid my eyes on it, at which point it whispered sweet nothings into my ear and promised me that, together, we will have the best. summer. evir. – a summer filled with brightly colored flowers and an adorable leather clasp and a strap that is both rope AND leather at an affordable Target price.
It’s my first fashion crush of the summer, y’all, and I really think this purse and I are going to have a beautiful future together. I don’t want to jinx anything, but we’re, um, totally serious already.
And speaking of cute, which technically I wasn’t but I will now:
This picture was taken during the .4 second span this weekend when Alex wasn’t TALKING! EXCITEDLY! ABOUT! HOW HAPPY! HE WAS! TO HAVE! HIS COUSIN! HERE!
Finally, the little man is now making a regular habit of taking his daddy and me to the Wii bowling woodshed. In fact, Friday night he actually beat me by over ONE HUNDRED POINTS. I’m trying to be supportive because HE’S FOUR AND ALL, but don’t think for one second that I’m not going to be getting in some practice rounds this week once he goes to sleep.
Because I’m not competitive.
Or anything.
See y’all tomorrow.
CUTE purse and BEAUTIFUL children! Praise be to God for all things good! :)
P.S. I got a new purse this weekend too and I can’t stop staring at it….
If YOU were a purse … I imagine you as THAT purse.
Sassssssssayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
BTW- somewhere in your mass of Outlook goodness, you’ve got mail :)
And I’m sure that you got the matching shoes, too, right?

Very, very cute things!
Oooo… Love the purse. Cute little boy, too. ;)
Hugs,
Melinda
I love the new purse!
I had the purse-shopping bug this week, too, but I wound up buying a new diaper bag instead – being practical and all, since I have a baby coming in a week or so – and a 14 mo.old – it made more sense to buy a diaper bag than a purse.
Glad you had a great weekend!
OH MY GOSH, I LOVE THAT PURSE!!!!!
Glad the weekend was fab indeed. =)
cute purse and adorable children!
That exact purse took a long ride in my cart the other day! But as only the Target cashier can do, having spent $109 on q-tips and shampoo (how DO I spend so much on NOTHING at Target?!) I had to put the adorable “pocketbook” back on its little shelf.
I do go visit it though.
I covet your purse. Hopefully you won’t be too terribly disappointed if it begins two-timing you?
OOOOOHHHHH, I got that SAME purse the other day…. it is TOOO cute and so affordable. Target is AWESOME, I think I got most of my “summer” attire there (bathing suit, cover up, towels, purse, and t-shirts galore) I love purses and this just SCREAMED summer to me. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do… plan on toting it LOTS of places this summer.
BTW.. I LOVE your blog.. feel free to visit mine sometime (about my recovery from my ED) … people RARELY leave me comments, I am getting jealous :-) HEE HEE!!!
Anyways, love that you share my taste in that cool purse.
You MUST, I repeat MUST get the matching shoes. How cute would that be?! You could turn jean capris and a white t-shirt into a way cool outfit!
Did you get that to match your blog? You are quite fashion savvy, indeed!
It’s funny how our blog shows our favorite color scheme. The mind is a complex organ. :)
Love the purse and the cutie kid pics.

I hope that purse is the first of many, many fashion crushes this summer. It’s adorable.
I would totally be up at night after the kids went to bed to practice the bowling. But we’re serious gamers here. :-) Serious. Gamers. I posted it here before I switched blog servers.

I’m totally with you. Get that practice and then you can LET him win. *L*
That’s just precious. Just precious.
And the kids are cute, too. :>)
Seriously, those youngins’ are the sweetest!
too cute :)
Dude. I love that purse, I do, but I refuse to pay that much for anything at the Targets unless it comes on wheels or is a sheet set. If that same purse was at Macy’s for that price, sure, I’d snap it up. But not the Targets.
oh how i long for the day when i carry a purse again. don’t get me wrong — i wanted to carry a diaper bag for SO long. but to carry a cute little trendy number and know that it will NEVER smell like poop. bliss.
i’d like to eat that handbag up with a spoon. delicious, i tell you.
Say, doesn’t that new purse kinda match those shoes from a while back??
Hmmmmm…..
I’m so jealous. I’ve been coveting that bag on target.com for about a week now. I haven’t actually seen it in the flesh yet…
The picture is taunting me…
Cute purse.
Cute kid.
Cute baby.
I see a theme here. . .
‘Missed you, but enjoyed your old posts that I hadn’t read. You see, I only heard about blogging in February this year, and then having read Lisa Whelchel’s journal for years, she mentioned you…I’m so glad to have met a funny, southern friend!
The boys are precious! The purse is lov-e-ly!
Have a great week until you get some sleep! My friends like to play a game on the Merriam-Webster dictionary site called “Fowl Words” (it’s a chicken word game :) Maybe that will keep you company as you stay awake.
Love in Him,
Holly
Did your girl parts hurt having such a beautiful baby in the house all weekend? Mine do just from looking at that picture. And I have a little precious 11 month old in the house. Babies are so wonderful!
What a great picture of the kids!!
My kids beat me at bowling too… I don’t even try to lie and tell them I let them anymore..ROFL..
Oh my gosh, the pattern on the top of that purse is TOO CUTE! I love it! Target rules.
And great photo of the kids! I love when kids are excited to spend time with their cousins.
Jane, Pinks & Blues Girls
Love love the oh so cute purse!!! Oh my!!! Absolutely perfect with your oh so cute and sassy orange shoes!!!!
Precious cousin time!!!!!!!!!!
love love, ek
Love.The.Purse. You know I do.
But, um, next time when you’re talking about cute, could you please post the picture of your adorable child and his adorable cousin BEFORE the picture of the purse?
Humor us. m’kay?
How funny! After I posted about my handbag, I also bought a new orange one. That would totally suit you too. Must post pictures tonight.
I had that same purse in my cart but put it back because I had just bought a different summer purse. Is it ok to have 2? Then I saw the leather purses in the cool pastel colors and couldn”t resist. I got the blue one. Did you see those? Wish I had a picture to show you. They were really cute.
Doesn’t that purse match the shoes you bought a few weeks back????
Looks like the purse will match those new shoes you got a couple months ago.
I’ve seen that purse! I am completely in love w/ the solid blue one by the same designer. Maybe I should hint around for a Mother’s day gift. Enjoy the purse…you should get the matching shoes.
Love the purse!
How adorable is that little guy with his cousin… I think it’s time for another little one around your house!!
Your Alex is one of the most beautiful children I have ever seen. Except my own kids, of course. :) You can just see the intensity in his eyes. :) Little boys are so wonderful.
I’m going to have to check out that purse. I’ve been looking for a new one, but I always feel weird buying one from Target because I’m There.So.MUCH. But that one might be too cute to pass up. And I know it’s been mentioned by several people, but my first thought when I saw it was that it would totally match your new shoes!
Okay — first of all, I could eat Alex up! He’s beautiful — my goodness, how can you NOT stare into those eyes all day?
Oh, yeah — you have a cute purse to look at… which, by the way, matches your blog design. Clever girl!
